NI PXIe-5450 User Manual

About This Manual

This user manual explains the fundamental and advanced concepts
necessary for using the NI 5450 arbitrary function generator and describes
the features, functions, and operation of the signal generator.

Conventions

The following conventions are used in this manual:

<>

Angle brackets that contain numbers separated by an ellipsis represent
a range of values associated with a bit or signal name—for example,
AO <3..0>.

[ ]

Square brackets enclose optional items—for example, [

response

].

»

The

»

symbol leads you through nested menu items and dialog box options

to a final action. The sequence

File»Page Setup»Options

directs you to

pull down the

File

menu, select the

item, and select

Options

from the last dialog box.

♦

The

symbol indicates that the following text applies only to a specific

product, a specific operating system, or a specific software version.

This icon denotes a tip, which alerts you to advisory information.

This icon denotes a note, which alerts you to important information.

This icon denotes a caution, which advises you of precautions to take to
avoid injury, data loss, or a system crash.

When this symbol is marked on a

product, refer to the

Interference

document, included with the device,

for information about

precautions to take.

bold

Bold text denotes items that you must select or click in the software, such
as menu items and dialog box options. Bold text also denotes parameter
names.

italic

Italic text denotes variables, emphasis, a cross-reference, or an introduction
to a key concept. Italic text also denotes text that is a placeholder for a word
or value that you must supply.
